Did you know that the Aboriginal Australians, also known as Aborigines, are descendants of the first people to leave Africa up to 75,000 years ago; and according to Australian Geographic, there has been a genetic study that found the Aborigines may be the oldest continuous culture on the planet? This is fascinating because as I dug deeper into when this tribe migrated to Australia I found out that modern man didn’t migrate from Asia to Australia until 60,000 years ago, so this tells us that the Aborigines were the first Socio-Culture group to ever leave Asia (Aboriginal Culture).
The first Aboriginals lived in an Australia that contained a better living environment than we see today. Large animals that are now extinct today provided more …show more content…
The Aboriginal Kinship System puts everybody in a specific relationship, and all of these relationships have roles and responsibilities assigned to them. This approach influenced who they could marry, and it also oversaw many other aspects of their everyday behavior. By using this method an Aboriginal member would know how to act towards the tribe when he or she reached adulthood. It helped them to learn respect, manners, and how to be polite to one another. According to Indigenous Australia, one main aspect of the kinship behavior is that an individual is allowed to approach and talk to some relatives but not to others, and to not play favorites, these rules applied to both blood and class relatives. This rule only exists to maintain respect between certain classes of relatives in the Kinship System. For example; if two people who are not permitted to speak to each other wanted to exchange information, they would have to find a third person to pass on this information. The question is how did these people obtain their food and how did they distribute it? Like all other cultures and tribes in the world past and present, the Aborigine people assigned roles for obtaining …show more content…
I think that one of the largest reasons for living this way was to appease their Gods and the land they lived on. I also believe this way of living was to set a social structure among their civilization. This is why they developed such a strong Kinship System. Doing so gave everyone a unique job to do so the community would survive. Dealing with the harsh terrain and weather must have not been an easy task for anyone involved in this type of socio-culture. I truly feel that the Aboriginal Australians were trying to tell us something through how they lived. Just by doing research I began to understand the importance of why they lived the way that they did. They lived not only for survival, instead they lived for the land. They were the protectors of the land, and I am able to tell this by the way that they lived. We can learn a lot from this ancient tribe. The secrets they hold are buried deep in the caves that they once called home, and until we can treat this land we the respect and dignity that the Aboriginal Australians gave to it we will not be able to unleash or understand the secrets that this ancient culture is hiding. Is it wrong to say that the Aborigines were the world’s first Park Rangers? I think
